A school For BOYS,

An industrial school for boys is proposed at

is to have the institution both home and

room and school bouss where the
rudiments OF an education can be
acquired while the boy is learn

There will be nothing to prevent any boy

u think the tendency among the Democrats
very generally is toward the denomination of
PRESIDENT Cleveland, and think he will gain
strength this year among the old anti-slavery
element of the Democratic party. Much of
this element went to the Republican party at
the time of the war. 1t feared that if the
Democrats got in power the colored man
would be denied his political recognition
They are pleased to see that Cleveland has
upheld him, and they applaud the honesty of
his intentions and administration. There
have been no scandals in the government
since the Inauguration, and they like his ad
nlinistration of the civil service. As to the
rank and file of the party, think they are
generally satisfied, though I do not believe
that the possession of the patronage i'll the
present. state of the civil service law
dsaiess to s4ss,se advantage of the party
in power. AS to the Republican can
didates, | suppose either Blaine or
Sherman will be nominated, in which case it
viii mean fair fight between the two par
ties, and if those candidates will come to the
national convention with opposing follow
ings, a compromise candidate may be chosen.
In this case it is probable that Harrison may
be the man. Senator Harrison is d very
able man."
"Who will take Morrison's place i'll the
next house?"
II do not know and have not heard the
matter talked about. There seems to be no
doubt but Carlisle will be elected speaker,
and the probability is that there will be an
entire change in the constitution of the
committees, as SO many of the prominent
Democrats upon them are not returned. As
to what the changes will be I am not able to
conjecture" FRANK e. CARPENTER

ceeded i'll becoming in many respects the
leading paper of the metropolis. There is no
doubt that to-day The World is paying
piece Of newspaper property, but that it pays
the enormous profits which are claimed for it
few old newspaper men believe.
Col John A. Cockerill is managing editor
of The World at salary of $12, 600 year.
He is a thorough newspaper man, alert, per-
tinacious, an admirable executive editor and
a clear, forceful writer. He is one of the
most popular newspaper men in New York,
all officer of the Press club, and active in
every movement for the advancement of the
profession
The World has the largest staff of any
paper in New York city. Nearly GOD men
draw their pay at The World office on Park
row, and it takes over $12, 900 weekly to cover
the pay roll. This is exclusive Of the CORE
spondents and occasional writers, who number
about 400
The World is now practically three papers,
its Brooklyn and New Jersey editions each
having its managing and city editors and
local staff. There is no doubt that it is Mr.
Pulitzer's ultimate intention to make three
distinct papers, and the establishment of a
plant in Brooklyn is step in this direction.
He also thinks of following the example of
several of the Boston and Chicago papers and
The New York Sun in issuing an afternoon
edition.
There is but little gossip about the office
All sorts of rumoIs concerning it float around
Park ro~ and are the more easily believed
because The World is always doing some
thing surprising. When Col. Cockerill went
to Europe some time ago was seriously in
formed by several old newspaper men that he
had gone to London to start an English coun-
terpart of The New York World. Wild as it
sounds. the rumor was seriously canvassed by
men who ought to have known better But it
shows the feeling in regard to the paper. We
can calculate pretty closely what most of the
papers will do, but we are prepared to credit
any bold or startling measure which may be
imputed to The World. If Mr. Pulitzer should
buy the New York postoffice for his paper the
newspaper men would be no more surprised
at the evidence of his success than they would
be at his failure if it should stop publication
tomorrow.
1t is paper of surprises, and we are getting
used to it. ALLAN FORMAN.

wood, painted white and delicately carved,
and over this rest three of those long, old
fashioned mirrors, which look out between
the partitions of long, richly carved gold
frame The fireplace is framed in brass.
fluted Corinthian brass pillar stands at each
side, and over these is stretched brass roof,
SO that the whole might be taken for
miniature temple of the fire worshipers. On
the top of each pillar, however, rests
the emblem of America, our national
eagle, in brass. The fender below surrounds
the whole fireplace. 1t is of carved brass,
with curious legs, and the brass floor within
it throws back the rays OF the fire as they fall
upon it, Around this fire stand many easy
chairs upon the Turkish rug which covers the
floor. Directly in front of it lies little three
foot square bright colered rug of rags. which
looks aS though it might be home made, and
OH one corner of the mantel is suspended fiat
pin ball made of yellow satin and black velvet
in patches. and hung upon the mantel by two
strings, one of which is yellow satin and the
other black velvet ribbon.
The furniture of this room is a combination
of the antique and the modern. The modern
oart of it is made of wicker, beautifully
tided and upholstered in brocaded silk or
attn There are wicker tables, chairs and
3nfas, and l noted upon these some pretty
pieces of fancy work, each OF which had
doubtless some history. One of the sofa pill
lows had crazy patch work cover, and the
most curious things to me among the furniture
were the little foot stools, made of wicker and
cushioned in silk, looking for all the world like
inverted work baskets made into pin cushions.
In the whole furniture, however, there
is not one uncomfortable or stiff looking
riece, and it is plaiu to be seen that no effort
has been made at furnishing the house for
anything else than comfort
The easiest chair is that of the secretary,
which is placed beside the table near the firs.
It is an old fashioned, high backed, wide
armed affair, covered with highly lowered
cretnnne and cushioned on every side. Sitting
in it there is no possibility of any draughb
touching its occupant, and one could sleep IN
it without trouble. Its back reaches high
above the head of the sitter, and he can loii to
either side and strike nothing but cushions.
Its arms seem to wrap the sitter like gar
ment. and it would make good courtlng
chair. for it is wide enough for two. IN this
chair the secretary often sits of an evening
after hard day at the office. He cocks his
feet upon one of these wicker footstool ctish-
ions. leans his head against the soft back and
am,ises himself by looking ever the earica-
lures which the illustrated papers publish
concerning him.

biscuits "Miss Lucretia" used to give him
when half starved he sang under her dining
room window? II used to wish could have
my fill of them, and now mean to have, YOU
see."
There was living in Washington year or
so ago an old co,ored man, who was fellow
slave with "Fred,' as he still calls him. His
wife was the daughter of the old fiddler of
"the great house, Hearing them talk
together-the recorder of the District of
Columbia and the tender of a furnace in the
Capitol-laughing merrily over "reminiscences
of the plantation, was unique experience.
"No, 1 don't remember any thing special that
Fred used to do in them days." said the old
man i'll reply to probing inquiry, "only he jes
wouldn't be put upon and wanted to boss
everything" Frederick Douglass had the
strange pleasure of shaking hands not many
years ago with the sheriff who locked him up
in the Easton Jail, after heshad been dragged
with tied hands behind a horse, for attempting
to run away. 1t is no secret that he has been
benefactor of the family of his old master
1t is said that the Hon Frederick Douglass
is not the eloquent orator that Fred Douglass
used to be. True, there is great difference
between his calm addresses of today-his
scholarly paper upon William the Silent, for
instance-and the fery outbursts of his pent
up powers when the fugitive slave bill was
passed. Given the occasion, the gospel,
and Frederick Douglass would speak to-
day as powerfully as ever. The old fire
is there. 1t flashed and famed at a de-
batting society OF young colored men
not long before he sailed for Europe. The
sui. .ect under discussion was the right of
women to the ballot. Douglass was expected
to attend the meeting, and Douglass was lit
tie late. The room was crowded with the
co,ored men of Washington. The question of
his leadership was proved that night. The
opening of the meeting was postponed
until lie should come. When his white
head was seen at the entrance there
was spontaneous and hearty cheering.
Douglass was called upon to close the de-
bate, and it was in his summary of the
que tion, his defense of wonlan's right to the
ballot, that he was led into "reminiscences of
the Old conflict for his race-and the Douglass
of antislavery days was back again.
The reports circulated that Frederick Doug
lass is worth at least 100000 are without
foundation. He is perhaps worth nearly one
third of that sum. His mail is overladen with
letters begging-yes, in some cases demand
ing assistance. Il helped free your people
it is but fair you should relieve my poverty"
is the key note Of many. Ii Douglass is indie
pendent, his children are not Writing is hard
work for Douglass, owing to his partially
crippled right hand, hurt Ill a mob in INDIAN
alolis, but he answers many of the begging
letters, and most kindly.

The dining room is at the other side of the
hall Like the parlor, it is heated by an open
fire, but here, instead of CRATE, there is an
old fashioned fireplace and logs of wood are
burning upon pair of brass andirons. LIN a
recess to the right there is an inlaid sideboard
of mahogany and whitewood, and upon this
stands copper teakettle, a hot water pot and
tall coffee urn of brass. The dining table
is Of solid mahogany, an old piece which looks
as though it might have come over in the
Mayfower and the dining chairs are wide
enough to seat Barnum's fat woman, and like

PlcTu:- QUE STATIONS.

A Step in the Evolution of Modern Rail-
road buildings.
Ever since the beginning of the railroad
era certain persons, assumetily of the poetic
temperament, have seen fit to speak of the
steel highways of the times as vulgar money
making machines, prod ctive of all sorts OF
evil, and above everything else drst ri tive
OF sentiment and the love OF tie picturesque.
But these people are wrong. A long, level
emitanknlent through fiat country may not
be beautiful, but what, that is prettier, could
be put in its place? And what adds more to
the grace of broken landscape than the
sweep of the iron road along the mountain
side and across the valley over handsome
arches!
Aud where can one find more beautiful
buildings than the passenger stations that
are being erected by some of the great rail-
road lines? Take for instance the handsome
station of the New York Central and Hudson
River line at One Hundred and Thirty eighth
street Mott Haven), New York, which is il
lustrated. As the handsomest way station in
America, it is undoubtedly link in the evolu-
luton of beautiful railway architecture.
